Strengths: Good downhill bike for low coast. You can ride pretty fast over rocky terrain and stay in control. I can ride this bike at Demo forest and it handles great for that ride. The climb out isn’t as bad as I thought it would be. Great bike for Pacifica works great down the crack and the mile. Riding the drops on xxx the bike is stable and you don’t fell like you’re going over the bars. My bike is 35LBS.Weaknesses: The stock suspension, upgrading it before you leave your bike shop is suggested. Some bike shops will buy the stock stuff back and give you a discount on better stuff. A good rear hub will help out the rear end, although I haven’t had a problem with the stock hub.
Bottom Line: I bought a Status 1 because of the price and the advise of a friend. Before I took it out of the shop I upgrade the suspension (Front fork and rear shock) I didn’t want to deal with changing springs etc I'm 190LBS. This made the bike work like a DH should. The bike is pretty slacked and glides over rocky terrain. I don’t jump so well so I can’t comment on how it jumps. I am 45 and still jump some of the smaller stuff, but not so good, I've seen the video. In tight signal track you have to work the bike a little so be ready for that.Crashing into trees isnt fun. You can drop 3gs and get a good DH bike.
